Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pound - Elizabeth II (Year of The Ox; Silver Proof) 2021 coin from the United Kingdom is that it features a unique ox design on the reverse side, which is a symbol of strength, hard work, and determination in Chinese culture. The ox is depicted in a standing position, with its head lowered and its horns pointing upwards, signifying a strong and determined spirit. This design is a nod to the Chinese zodiac, which assigns the ox as the symbol for the year 2021. The coin's obverse side features the standard portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, making it a unique blend of British and Chinese cultural influences.
